carbon wrapped wing & exhaust fitted

[l18mnb]

yes i used one sheet of 600mm x 1200 mm, plenty todo the rear spoiler. its unbelieveable how much you can stretch it when you use the heat gun!! i looked into relpacing it with real carbon fibre but got told the mould alone would cost ?300 to make so thought id try the cheaper option, ive got two more bits coming so i can do the yellow parts of the mirrors then thats the lot no more carbon effect!!

looks great on the yellow, i had already ordered some to do the centre section of my spoiler, wont be near as striking a difference tho'......anthracite with black against your yellow!!!! well done m8

I'm liking it too.

Not too over the top.

looks brilliant!, tint the windows to match?

Looks good, my spoiler looks like it had only a couple of coats of paint, looks more lemon, than yellow. Could be the way to go if it gets worse.

Don't fancy respraying your spoiler yourself then Pete?

Has the paint faded in the sun?

You should be able to bring it back to life with something like autoglym paint renovator, followed by autoglym super resin polish, just an idea.

Hi Mark, even had the magic touch of Steeve, comes back up but you can see there is no depth to the paint. On the supports one of the corners looks like its almost back to the primer.

Suspect it will come to a respray, I've used a touch up pen, but the colour match on that is pretty awful. So would wonder what the match would be like using new paint.

Yep, I reckon its the sun, the spoiler and rear bumper look almost lemon.

I did respray my first Midget, dont think I'd trust myself now, normally ends up with runs when I use the cans!!!!

Hi Pete, lol, I guess it is always best to pay a spray shop to do a perfect job when it comes to spraying your car!

I shouldn't think a respray for the spoiler and bumper would be too much?

But then carbon is way much cheaper, think it would look good on your zs.

l18mnb did you use just one sheet of the carbon fibre, Im thinking about doing one using real carbon fibre and replicating the xpower ones but its alot of hassle, might try this first!

I'll have to watch some Youtube videos and see what's involved. The problem is if I mess it up it's ?26 down the drain, the window film was less than a tenner!
